The effectiveness of pioneers
Mr. Tran Van Cuong (residing in Hung Thoi 2 hamlet, Phu Hung commune) established Ngoc Thai Mulberry Company Limited after a period of successful crop conversion, moving towards developing 3 OCOP products. On the land of ineffective rice and glutinous rice, Mr. Cuong came up with the idea of finding a new crop to replace it. Referring to models and with the support of agricultural officials, he "picked" mulberry trees, because this is a fruit rich in vitamins, suitable for all ages. He experimented with growing mulberry trees on 5,000m2 ( F1 mulberry trees). After 2 years, he harvested the first crop of about 4 tons. To increase income, he "turned" the mulberry garden into an ecological model, welcoming visitors to visit, take check-in photos in the garden, and serve refreshing drinks made from mulberry fruits, enjoying fresh fruit on the spot.
Mr. Cuong's direction continues to be supported by the district's professional sector and the Farmers' Association, providing capital, suggesting ways to expand the mulberry growing area to 11,000m2 , with about 900 mulberry trees. "I set up a project to produce VietGap mulberry and was supported by the provincial functional sector with seedlings and an automatic sprinkler irrigation system. The mulberry garden is growing very well, fresh mulberries are processed into many canned and bottled products. In particular, I process mulberry wine which is favored by many people and many localities, who order and open stores as retail distributors" - Mr. Cuong shared. Up to now, the mulberry harvest output is about 15 - 18 tons/year. In addition to selling fresh fruit, the products: mulberry wine, mulberry juice, artichoke syrup have met the "3-star" OCOP standard. Mr. Cuong is continuing to perfect the product to participate in product upgrading evaluation, approaching e-commerce sites.
